A project without (even an outline of) a plan spells trouble. Even if a plan in your head is sufficient for you, it will be easier for the team to work effectively and calmly knowing, for example: the schedule, milestones, goal, or roles in the project. There are many tools supporting a leader or manager in this. What do you use to show stakeholders the goal and plan of the project?
A “Gantt” is a horizontal bar chart used to visualize the timeline of a project and its tasks. It enables your team to present the schedule, upcoming milestones, and the overall project timeline in a visual form. Do you know how to make clear Gantt charts?
A project brief is a document (preferably one page long) describing primarily the goal of the project, its requirements, and what is needed for its implementation, e.g.: roles, tools, relationships. It is a pill of information about the project. Do you remember a project that could have used a brief at the beginning?
Definition of done (DoD) and Definition of ready (DoR) are short descriptions that indicate when we can consider a given piece of software as ready so that there are no doubts and unnecessary discussions about it. Has your team created their DoD and DoR?
